    The perfect compliment to the hipster's Macbook and Prius...

    Wow. The designer must've spent all of 10 minutes working on that.


    Is that genuine Velcro brand hook-and-loop fastener?

    Now Matt, laptop sleeves have their place. I have two man bags that I currently use. One is a standard messenger that I've turned into a camera bag. The other is a Timbuk2 Blogger. I can't fit my camera gear into the Timbuk2 laptop case, but I can fit my laptop into the camera bag, but I use a sleeve so it isn't floating in the messenger bag loose with various metal tripod mounts and hard plastic cameras.


    This particular sleeve looks all kinds of useless.

    Now, as for that "sounding gay" part of your comment, I already do that. Every waking moment of my life. No man bag required.

    @kaubuchon: That is a fancy looking sack. All the boys will be jealous.


    But seriously, I walked straight into that one. For the record:


    1) Straight, but realize the act of wearing a messenger bag in certain parts of the country gets you some stares. I don't have the personal hygiene to pull off looking gay. But I try.

    2) Prefer that my camera bag doesn't look like a camera bag. The one I use is located here: [www.chromebagsstore.com]

    3) Timbuk2 Blogger does look a bit "gay", even though I bought it on the recommendation of Gizmodo.

    4) That Shootsac looks awesome for carrying lenses and flashes.

    5) Don't bother trying to explain what a Gorilla pod is to your friends. It will always just look like a bizarre sex toy.

    @WhiteGuyOnWebCam_GitEmSteveDav...: Nah, I don't think it would be much of a problem at all, especially for the newer Macbooks. Much of the hot air gets blown upward into the gap between the hinge and the top case. A bigger problem might be the heat generated by this material as the notebook sits on it, rather than ventilation blockage. But even then, this would be more of an issue for the older (hotter) 'books.

    @WhiteGuyOnWebCam_GitEmSteveDav...: If it's a Mighty Mouse, yep. Found out that Apple's mouse is rather weak in the optical department. Anything that's too light and/or reflective (even satiny), the mouse will have trouble registering. My $15 Microsoft optical mouse is much better.


    Besides, it sort of feels better to use the pad than the plain hard surface for the mouse.

    Well, at least it doesn't look as dinky as a hippie daisy decal.


    You'd be much better off just getting a zipper sleeve like the kind inCase sells, and just put a regular mousepad in the pocket.

    @Moonshot: Here's some food for thought.


    [i.gizmodo.com]


    There's a reason articles such as those come up, because people decide that, in lieu of actual input, a relevant joke or the sort, they just sling a little insult at the writer for making this product aware. We don't need "yawns", "firsts" and "How is this news" type comments.

    About 15 years ago saw the "Real Live Brady Bunch" in LA. Was one of the funniest nights I have ever had. Anyways, there was a portion where audience members were selected to come on stage and act out a scene. One was a reluctant young woman in her late 20s wearing jeans and a green sweater. As she walked up to the stage, the live piano player busted out with:


    Nothing looks better

    Than a puke green sweater


    She was so embarrassed she ran back off the stage to her seat.

    @tobedetermined: Normal laptop sleeves also trap heat. The difference is that laptop sleeves provide more protection than a simple wool layer.
